Hagia Sophia and the Problem of ‘Esoteric Architecture’
from Podcast episodes – The Secret History of Western Esotericism Podcast (SHWEP) · host Earl Fontainelle
We discuss Justinian's great church, Hagia Sophia, the gem of Constantinople and of Orthodox Christianity. We then look at a number of theories out there which read Hagia Sophia as encoding esoteric messages beneath her Orthodox exterior, and use this case-study as a springboard for discussing the thorny problems involved in interpreting architecture, especially esoteric architecture.
